“So I’m old school wanting to update book shelf speakers from 30 years ago. How do you hook these up ? I have a receiver but back then we would just use the cable wire and pinch them in . Is it still like that ?”

Yes, but with more options. These speakers have 5-way binding posts, which means you can use bare wires, spades, or banana plugs to connect the speakers to your amp. If you used bare wires in the past, you can do so still.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can still do it old school like we used to but I find add on cable tips available from several manufacturers are a neater and more convenient way to go. They attach without tools and come in different styles for each specific need: banana plug, flex, or spade. They’re also easily changed out when you make system changes.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, the clip in place still works. There are more desirable methods these days. However, watts per channel will be the issue. I am not sure how many your current receiver has. Also, these run at 6 ohms. Not at issue with 8 ohms receivers but, best sound? I would upgrade to a current receiver.
